President’s Report ~ Shawn
Ewing

Shawn
thanked the board of directors for all their hard work over this past year.
This past year has put us on the map with lots of news coverage stemming from
the first Pride parade being held. Even though we took a chance & risk with
our first Dinner & Dance, it certainly twigged an interest & was a good
time & great mixer for both community & spirit. Surrey Pride Society
should now look at partnerships within the community. Kudos to Whistler Pride
for letting us look after a coat check at one of their many events. We also
received excellent feedback from Alex Sangha and the S.E. Asian community.
Shawn said the new incoming board is in a good position for this coming 2016 /
2017 year. They need to continue blitzing organizations getting the word out.
